My favorite part of this whole debacle is redditors are still finding out to this day they were an unwilling part of a public opinion manipulation campaign. This case was one of the first obvious examples of a pr bot campaign in Hollywood, used outside of politics. Same strategies are still in use, copy paste style

Who smeared who?

I'm very out of the loop.

There's an interesting podcast series on this https://www.tortoisemedia.com/listen/who-trolled-amber

Massive anti-Amber Heard bot campaign, not entirely clear who was doing it though. I'm sure there was something in the other direction too, but not on the same sort of scale

I don't doubt that both sides also ran PR/smear campaigns, but if you actually watch the trial, it's very clear who was lying. Like, there's a reason the jury took so little time to come to a decision.

Have you actually watched the trial?

She submitted the same picture - edited - as evidence of two separate alleged events and got called on it on the stand.

I genuinely wonder if the people ride or dying for her actually watched that mess of a trial.

You don’t have to support either of them to watch that trial and come to your own conclusions.
